I'm not sure exactly, but it probably is some incompatibility
between the way GTK+ does conversion between wide and multibyte
strings and your version of X11R5.

Does it matter what is set as your locale?

If this doesn't work, you could try making a modification
like the appended patch to gdkim.c.

That really isn't a good fix, but that should help
track down what is going wrong.
